Never Wrong Poem by Melanie DeichertMesedea

Never though the misery of the world would come back to me
Never to be fought, never to be thought of again
Then again I have been wrong
Ever in a million years I am
All but wrong

Infallibility is not my gift in a thousand and two to one
And I am wrong
I never believed there was a god
Although I have always prayed to one
I never thought I’d think again
Then again I have always thought about thinking

Righteousness in Justice like the fairy tales in books
They are not alive, they are not dead
And if they were they would be resurrected
Like Jesus, they were my saviors
And I never thought they would leave me with time.

I never did, I have never done, would I ever do, what I never could
To kill a man out of so many choices
I was wrong, I was never right
I perceived the world the way I wanted it to
But would not yield it would not heal,
And never wield but always heed

Never, never, never,
Will my heart feel like this again
Never will I let it toy with me
I was wrong but never again
Not in a hundred days or a fortnight
I must strive through wrongness

In this world of a billion years or four
I may never know for sure
Even when I’m true to you or betraying
Time, my father, would you not die on me, never
I will always be true
And never wrong.
